I never claimed it was. But I'd bet there are tens of millions of people that have never seen a fox in real life, not even in regular daily life. Even if they live in a region where foxes do live, daily urban life isn't exactly conducive them.
We live in the suburbs (UK), and our place is lousy with foxes - might be the most common animal you see. On the plus side, the cubs are incredibly cute; but on the downside, "fox romance" is not what you want to be listening to at three in the morning, and our cats go crazy chasing them out of our garden. Could do without them getting into a scrap and causing me some crazy vet's bills.
Daily urban life is very conducive to them, they scavenge bins around my area all the time.
I was about to say this! I've seen more foxes around the centre of Manchester and Sheffield than I have around the farms where I live.
